You've got your own style with an intriguing vibe. Lots of interesting organic sounds which are given plenty of space to breathe. I like it but am wondering if chord changes are allowed in Polyslaxland. It seems like this piece and "Hunger Battle Birds" are harmonically static. Not necessarily a bad thing but I get a little antsy listening to them.

FrantzM - yes, in general polyslaxland isn't a comforting place for listeners who crave harmonic change. I work only by ear on keys, so it tends toward simple... once in a while I'll have a breakthrough moment. Thanks for checking it out!

The kingdom of polyslaxland doesn't have to live under martial monochord law forever. If some day you want to dabble with a harmonic revolution, here's an experiment to try. Grab the MIDI data for every 2 or 4 bars and transpose it by an interval in your sequencer. This is not the "correct" way to do a chord change but for your sparse melodies it should hardly matter. It could add another dimension to your music.

Thanks for the tip... but I generally stick with what I enjoy doing, and I'm in a simpler period at the moment. I've got quite a few tracks online... probably in the hundreds I'm guessing... at SoundCloud and my own site where you can hear some of the different flavours I go for, if you're interested.
